Suppose then that congress goes still farther enacts the mandatory embargo Where does that leave us? It also means an immediate embargo against Japan followed almost surely by a Japanese military alliance with the axis creating a situation in which there are the strongest inducements to a triple attack on Greqt Britain and France For having been deprived of American supplies the Japanese who are already at war will have to move The axis will have acquired a willing even an urgent ally and at the same time it will be able to cut off the supply of munitions to the European democracies Suppose then 'that congress The Day in Washington takes the opposite line and revises the law so that supplies will not be sold to “the aggressor” This would compel congress to declare a kind of war against and a kind of war u veryJapan likely to become a real war We are no matter what we do in a position where no one will regard the action of congress as neutral where everyohe will see that it favors one nation at the expense of another We need not have been in this entangling posiV e tion have entangled our-seh- es by Mr Njes legislation and the only real way to disentangle ourselves is to repeal the legislation and take our stand once more on the principles of international By Associated Piess The president signed into law a $549 000 000 army appropriation bill and the war department 0 promptly awarded orders for 000 of planes $50-00- Repiesenlatlve Taber (R) New asked the house to reject President Roosevelts government reorganization proposal submitted Tuesday York The administration was reported seeking a neutrality act amendment to permit American merchant ships to operate to ports of belligerent territory which are not in danger zones Three representatives said after a White House conference that the president would not oppose additional farm benefits if congress levied taxes to provide for them Anns Embargo Rej)eal Urged WASHINGTON April 26 UP)— The general council of the National League of Women Voters urged immediate repeal of the arms embargo section of the neutrality act Wednesday after polling state league presidents for expressions of opinion Mrs Louise Leonard Wrnght of Chicago league foreign policy chairman said the consensus of delegates was that the law operates to the advantage of aggressor law This is much the safest course the most easily defensible the most consistent with the sentiments and the interest of the American people If we return to international law we do not have to intervene in the far east by changing our policy in the middle of the war We do not have to challenge Japan at a time when Japan is inevitably in a desperate mood We shall be able to taka the neutral position which is that Japan and China may buy supplies here in accordance with Articles Vn and VIII of the Hague convention of 1907 ‘‘on the and duties of neutral powrights ers ” In regard to Germany and Italy we shall be taking a position which is legally and morally unassailable On the other hand we shall take away from them the hideous inducement to start a war in order to deprive their opponents of supplies that they can obtain only as long as there is no war The act of repeal on the other hand would not only remove the inducement to strike quick which we now offer to the axis but it W'ould be profoundly deterrent because it would be construed as making it possible for the coalition to resist successfully The safest course I repeat is to repeal the act and return to the elementary prim iple of international law This is the only solution that ran still be adopted which is legally neutral and can therefore be defended It is the only solution which can enable us to escape the worst of all the entanglements of a neutral the entanglements of hanging his policy after war breaks out -- Cop) right 1939 New Yoik Tribune Inc nations Judge Florence Allen of Cleveland addressing a council banquet Wednesday night said the framers of the constitution made a revolutionary change in government when they placed the power to declare war in the hands of the peonies representatives She added that this had given us many decades of peace Mrs Wright told the banquet crowd that wars are ‘predictable and Preventable" She added that ‘it is not necessary to adopt the prevalent defeatism the most dangerous ‘ism’ on the international scene ” Mrs Franklin D Roosevelt told league delegates Wednesday night that “what we need to do is sit down and face ourselves” AT ALL LEADING GROCERS ernment US Asks Cold Bond Ruling WASHINGTON April HERE’S DIVE WAY TD STAY YOUNG!
